Aspyr Media was initially a company assigned to managing the rebuilding of KOTOR. However, an article that came out during the 2022 newscycle stated that they had stopped working, and this brought about a shift in development roles which was quite drastic. In around August 2022, Saber Interactive, which is part of the Embracer Group, was given the contract for the remastering for the title. There were issues with the internal demo and project progress, but most stemmed from the quality of the demo.
In an interview with one of the Saber Interactive CEO, Matthew Karch, back in April of 2024, he said that the video game is “alive and well” and quashed any thoughts of it being canceled. This provides some reassurance to fans of the game knowing that the game is still in the stages of development even if details are limited.
